Review: The legendary Scratcha DVA returns in sparkling form for this latest collection on DRMTRK, exploring the furthest recesses of experimental bass music across four wondrous originals. We begin with 'Shishabhe' alongside Mfumfanakagogo, a chilling soundscape, wading between synthesised melodics and moody bass notation, before both Trim & Mxshi Mo arrives for some wicked guest work on 'Dem Kno Me Alredy', a haunted soundscape, doused in dripping post-funky flavour. From here, a more grimey avenue is explored as Mez, Jammz & Mxshi Mo all make themselves known on the more traditional drumlines and abstract melodics of 'PFB', with Omagoqa's additional work on the epic soundscapes of 'Drillers' giving us one tasty closer.

Review: With the clubs now re-opening and returning to full capacity, alongside a range of festival shows being back in action, the DRMTRK crew are responding accordingly with a selection of club-ready creations, courtesy of both Scratcha DVA and Menzi. We begin with the bulbous synth slides and choppy rhythmic goodness of 'Queen' from Scratcha DVA, who once again shows his mastery of unpredictable drum design with the funky spectrum, before Menzi arrives to give 'Whoo Hoo' a spacious rethink, focussing on atmospheric energy and shimmering pad textures behind. Next, the pair combine in style for 'Storm Vz Grave', fusing descending synthetic textures with alarm-like tones and industrial drum crunches, before 'Drmsix' sees Calista Kazuko get involved on extended mix duties, again utilizing the concept on minimalistic percussion and a steadily evolving arrangement. This whole EP is a fantastic look into the mindscapes of both producers with some truly interesting results.

Review: We all know very well of the impact that DRMTRK's powerful catalogue brings to underground dance music in the UK. For this particular project, we see two legends combine as Scratcha DVA joins forces with the immovable Mak10 for a weighty two track display. We begin our listening journey with 'Promise U', a percussion heavy fusion of drifting soundcaped pad textures and vocal snippets with delicate rhythmic arrangements. On the flip to this, 'Smoke Signal' offers us an alternate direction, linking up fluttering woodwind arpeggios and other percussive drives with a skippy set of rhythmic instrumentation, making this one a real creeper for the dancefloor!

Review: As ever it seems that DRMTRK are intent on exploring new musical grounds as the mastery of Scratcha DVA is again deployed across four tracks of futuristic fire. We kick off with the industrial percussion and choppy melodies of 'Storm' before landing on the minimalist sub splashes and choppy drum switches of 'Whoo Hoo', giving the EP an excellent sense of contrast from the off. On remix duty we see the marvelous Bakongo get busy with a super funky relick of 'Fatherboard', complete with colourful LFO expressions, before we then hear Nazar unleash a dramatic, glitchy overhaul of 'Storm'.

Review: It looks like DRMTRK have done it again here as they arrange a top draw line up to join the legendary Scratcha DVA on 'DRMTRK VIII'. We kick off some super slick production along with an incredibly lively vocal performance from Mez, who lets loose with some typically energetic flows over a grimey madness from Scratcha. Following this, Griffit Vigo joins the party with some excellent contributions on the unpredictable drum work of 'Goosebumps', with DJ Polo then getting involved on 'Boog'; a bass heavy ride through interesting funky grooves and well designed percussive layers.

Review: As one of the original kings and front runners of UK funky, it's always and absolute pleasure to see Scratcha DVA return to the releases, as he does here with this absolute corker alongside the DRMTRK imprint. As a recording, 'FOH' hits every note you could ask for in an original funky stomper, switching between the high pressure introduction sections to carnival style drum circulations and hard hitting chord stabs. This is most certainly one we would recommend drawing for in the dance, just watch the room implode! Excellent stuff from Scratcha as per!
